Update IGEP Firmware chapter
= Introducing the IGEP Firmware =
* About the All brand new IGEP Processor Boards '''have a preinstalled firmware''' provided and installed on it by ISEE Firmware* How to update it * Create a custom MicroSD Card.
=== By default, if you power up your board it will run the software on the flash. But '''you can prepare a MicroSD card and boot from it''' by inserting it to the MicroSD card reader of your IGEP X-Loader ===Processor Board, as it has more priority than the flash.
=== The Linux Kernel ===pre-installed software consists of:
=== *IGEP Firmware X-loader: a '''bootloader''' compatible with all IGEP Processor Boards. *IGEP Kernel: a '''Linux Kernel''' maintained by ISEE. *IGEP firmware Yocto: the software distribution consists of a lite X Window System and GNOME Mobile based applications created with Yocto ===tools
For more information about these specific sotware, read the following articles:
= Introducing the available software distributions =*[[The IGEP X-loader]] *[[The Linux kernel]] *[[IGEP firmware Yocto|IGEP firmware Yocto]]
== Update the preinstalled software ==
If you wish to update to the latest available version of the pre-installed software you need to follow these steps: #'''Download the latest firmware''' from ISEE in a Linux PC. #Run a script that will automatically setup and '''create a MicroSD card''' with the latest software in your host PC. #Then '''boot your IGEP Processor Board''' from that MicroSD card you have just created. #Finally, you can write the updated software from the MicroSD to the '''flash memory''' on your IGEP device. * For more information visit the [[Update the PRE-INSTALLED software image to a current release]] article.  = OTher = Create a MicroSD Card with a different software distribution == You can create a custom MicroSD with a different software distribution. The article [[How to boot from MicroSD Card]] will guide you in the process of creating a MicroSD. You can also check the specific articles for some distributions. ==== [[:Category:Software distributions]] ===={{#lst:Category:Software distributions|Description}}{{#lst:Category:Software distributions|Site Map}}  = Other support resources =
